The two are members of a foreign military, and are currently stationed at Fort Leonard Wood for training.
Pulaski County Sheriff Ron Long told KMOV:
There is no diplomatic immunity, they are guests and if they were diplomats it would be different, but they're here on a training mission so we treat them like any other citizen charged with a crime."
The suspects' country of origin is not known at this time.
